World Record predictions in the year 2020?

[applezfall]

my predictions( assuming no sudden jumps as it seems unlikely they will happen as hardware doesn't seem like it can improve too much, I think magnets were responsible for the jumps we've seen this year)

2x2: 0.42,1.39
3x3: 4.40,5.88
4x4: 18.89,22.24
5x5: 35.78,42.57
6x6: 1:12.75,1:21.67
7x7: 2:00.00(LOL),2:08.65
3BLD: 15.46,19,27
FMC: 18,23
3OH: 6.88,9.82
feet: 19.89,24.67
mega: 26.34,31.78
pyra: 1.22,1.97
clock: 3.73,5.00
skewb: 1.05,2.05
squan: 5.12,8.35
4BLD: 1:20.01
5BLD: 3:32.56
MBLD: 45/45

3x3 average,squan average,5bld,4x4 can happen in 2018-2019
also the fmc one is impossible

 

[1973486]

squan average can happen in 2018-2019

But hopefully 2017

also the fmc one is impossible

How?

 

[lejitcuber]

But hopefully 2017



How?

He must have interpreted it as 18.23 for a mean, not 18 single and 23 mean

 

[WACWCA]

Just putting my opinion on 2x2, it will 100% be 1.2, I'm pretty sure the record is about to get destroyed soon, so many people are peaking at crazy fast times and just need a little bit of luck

 

[FastCubeMaster]

I don't think some people are realising that this deadline is only 2 and a bit years away (if this is for the start of year)

some predictions are a bit crazy

 

[applezfall]

oh ok I was confused

you have a chance to get it also update ur signature

 

[Competition Cuber]

Here I go:

2x2: 0.3, 1.1
3x3: 4.3, 5.5
4x4: 17.9, 18.9
5x5: 36, 43
6x6: 1:14, 1:23
7x7: 2:00, 2:10
3x3 OH: 6.65, 8.9
3x3 WF: 18, 25
3x3 BLD: 16.9, 21
Skewb: 0.9, 2.3
Squan: 5.3, 8.0
Pyra: 0.8, 1.8
Mega: 27, 31
Clock: 3.4, 4.9
4x4 BLD: 1:27
5x5 BLD: 3:40
3x3 Multi-BLD: 50/51 59:59.xx

A lot of those are just guesses based on the current WRs.

Changed my OH single and average, and 4x4 average

assuming no sudden jumps as it seems unlikely they will happen as hardware doesn't seem like it can improve too much,

Then again, we thought that before magnets too.

Just putting my opinion on 2x2, it will 100% be 1.2, I'm pretty sure the record is about to get destroyed soon, so many people are peaking at crazy fast times and just need a little bit of luck

I completely agree with this.

This will be my final set of predictions on this thread. This is for the end of 2020.
2x2: 0.45 / 1.31
3x3: 4.13 / 5.60
4x4: 18.27 / 22.22
5x5: 36.14 / 43.63
6x6: 1:14.55 / 1:20.71
7x7: 1:55.00 / 2:03.92
OH: 6.81 / 9.59
Feet: 19.55 / 25.60
FMC: 18 / 23.00
3BLD: 17.05 / 20.34
4BLD: 1:28.59 / (1:48.59)
5BLD: 3:17.22 / (3:55.86)
MBLD: 48/50 in 59:52
Megaminx: 26.44 / 30.15
Pyraminx: 1.20 / 1.99
Skewb: 1.05 / 2.08
Square-1: 5.48 / 7.40
Clock: 3.11 / 4.28

I also predict kilominx will become an official event.
Kilominx: 7.93, 11.37
the amount of cubers will have doubled, which results in the amount of WCA competitors to nearly triple.
For me:
I'll still be cubing and will have competed in all events, but I'll not be in the top 100 for anything. I will probably get around to organizing at least one comp.

E: changed clock average from 3.98 to 4.28. and 3x3 avg from 5.84 to 5.60

I decided to tweak some of these. once 2018 hits I will no longer update these predictions.

 

[1973486]

I decided to tweak some of these.

Which?

 

[Ordway Persyn]

Which?

Single: 3x3, 6x6, 7x7, 5Bld, MBLD
Avg: 2x2, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, FMC (5BLD)

Underwater's reply to the post contains what there orgionally were.

oh and 4x4 average can happen next year also 3x3 can happen in 2019

 

[Competition Cuber]

Lets try another set:

2x2: 0.39, 1.17

Lets try another set:


Pyraminx: 0.72

lolno

59:49.62

• 9f2) All timed results, averages, and means over 10 minutes are measured and rounded to the nearest second (e.g. x.4 becomes x, x.5 becomes x+1).

 

[Competition Cuber]

lolno

couple sledges, it might be possible.

I dont want to make the mistake of drastically underestimating people like the predictions in 2009-20012 did.

Fixed

I still dont think something like this will happen on stackmat before 2025 atleast.The easiest scramble I think might be L' U L U' L R' my best stackmatted with this is .81
edit: L R' L' R u' l is also good

 

[Competition Cuber]

L R' L' R u' l

got 8.02 with this, and I average 4-5 on pyra, Drew could probably do it.
